Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit installed. For about a month I have been searching for a way to make my hp scanjet 5470c work. Several days ago I read a response to this problem in another forum. The solution was to download a shareware program called FreeKapture, install it and the scanner should work. Having tried everything else that sounded resonable, I gave this a shot. Immediately Precision Scan Pro 3.1 and my scanner began to perform as it had for years in XP. When you start FreeKapture and click Scan a window comes up in which you need to select precisionscan pro. After that use precision scan as you have done in the past.

This worked for me and is a lot better than discarding a great scanner.

I'm posting this because over the years since we left MS XP behind there have been many many questions about loading the drivers for the HP ScanJet 5470c in the newer OS's. I've been seeking a solution for all those years and just found the simple, simple answer. Its so simple as to be embarrassing to all of us--being so smart as we all are! Anyway, I found it at How to Use HP Scanjet 5470C on Vista | eHow.com. It simply amounts to changing the security rights for 'all users' under the folder properies for the software to 'full'. Otherwise, everything is the same as XP driver load instructions. No hangups or mods needed under Windows 7 (32bit). Make the security mod after loading the driver, with Scanner USB connected and scanner turned on. After making the security change simply open the scanner software and go to work. Thought you all would like to hear the good news.

I tried the VM mode very messy you had to enable the USB drivers each time.

When installing the Drive you MUST down load the HP sj688 driver, mine would not install from the CD, it did once with a scripte error, I think I know why, you need to set it for XP Compatibility Mode this is not listed in the eHow.com article, I did it all again using the sj688 driver followed the instructions then set XP compatibility, as last I managed to get rid of my XP dual boot, the chap needs a medal for this as the HP Scanjet 5470c is a very good scanner.

HP scanjet 4890 with W7 Pro x64I use to own a lot of HP products but one by one they end up in the trash can for different reasons. This is my last HP item and this one will probably end up like its brothers but this time it's not because of crappy manufacturing but for support issues. HP doesn't give a $?%? about their...
